"Note: If you are having trouble finding a piece of brisket smaller than half a cow, simply ask the meat counter clerk or butcher to help you. Generally, they can provide you with a smaller cut of brisket. Flat-cut brisket is easier to find and a bit more uniform in texture than point cut (according to Cook's Country). This recipe is easily doubled with fantastic results...."
